Over the weekend, I sold the black horseshoe lacquered linen coffee table from CB2 on Facebook Marketplace. It was a complete spur-of-the-moment design decision, and that means I need to whip up some modern living room decor ideas. Of course, I'm going to try to decorate on a budget. Here are a few virtual design mood boards that I'[...]
Home decor and interior design have always been my passion, but a few years ago, when I initially tried using 3D design software to mock up my kitchen remodel, I struggled. Fast forward to today, and all that has changed. I discovered HomeByMe, an intuitive and easy-to-use 3D design software with a catalog of furniture and decor from real[...]
The latest upholstery project really pushed me out of my comfort zone, especially the bold rust fabric on the vintage Alky chair. Although all that color and pattern was nerve-racking, I was so happy with how the chairs transformed the room. Keeping that same frame of mind for the modern fireplace makeover, I've decided that since this is[...]
If there's one thing I've learned about designing a room, it's never one and done. There will be a second, third, and probably ninety-seventh iteration. Since publishing the living room makeover last week, I have been redesigning the redesign and wanted to share it here to get your thoughts. Modern Velvet Blue Sofa Rust Sw[...]
Rewind four years ago, I was on a train for my morning commute into the city. The Boy was calling, and he was slightly panicky, "don't be mad." He had accidentally flooded the basement. Five weeks after we moved in, it was raining buckets of water from the ceiling. The existing carpet was ruined. Drywall was falling off the walls. Industr[...]
For me, fall decorating is a tricky sitch. As you know I'm not a fan of bright colors... every time I try to incorporate anything more than navy blue the fruit bowl effect happens...but yes, I'm reading this book for color help. If I were to combine orange and red with pumpkin spice and everything nice, clutch the pearls honey, I'd break[...]
Remember a couple of years ago when I flew to Minneapolis and hung out with Cambria Quartz? It was three days of creativity that left me design dreaming. If you're a regular follower, you know I've hinted at a kitchen renovation ever since, but now it's finally happening! I'm giving my kitchen a modern glam makeover and taking you along[...]
This week we are digging into one of my favorite styles, vintage decor. To up the ante on this whole Brand Ambassador title, I asked myself, "Kyla, can you recreate your front room with only Walmart home decor?" Now you know, I decorate with unique, eclectic, one-of-a-kind pieces. I took a deep breath and said, "challenge accepted!"[...]
People ask time and time again to describe my style. Gaahhhhhhh, really? I have absolutely no idea where to begin. I mean when I see it I know it? Does that count? A little old. A little new. A little quirky. Sometimes pink. All things French. They look at me with a blank stare. Sorry, I got nothin' else for ya. Fast forward to a f[...]
